Proposal to Move Postal Processing Out of East Texas Area

TYLER — Postal Service managers will give an overview and gather community input regarding a proposal to move some mail processing operations from the East Texas Processing and Distribution Center. The AMP proposal supports consolidating some mail processing operations that are currently being performed at the East Texas Processing and Distribution Center by taking advantage of available processing capacity at the Austin, North Texas and Shreveport postal plants in order to increase efficiency and improve productivity. While no decisions have been reached, Postal Service managers will give an overview of the reasons for the proposal and its possible outcomes, and will listen to community input and concerns. A summary of the proposal and presentation materials will be made available on usps.com.

The meeting will take place tonight at 6:00 at the Hampton Inn Conference Center 3130 Troup Hwy.
